Matching Funds

Did you know that many companies will match your donations to the PTA? Matching fund donations from your company are a benefit most of us forget to use. Most companies match your donation dollar for dollar. So for every dollar you give the PTA gets two. This can have a big impact on the PTA's ability to help provide resources to the school, teachers, and most importantly the children. If your company offers matching funds, please take the time to fill out the matching form from your company and bring it in to the PTA. Lafayette PTA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
